Abstract

With police violence and impunity being a persistent problem in post-authoritarian
Argentine society, the family members of victims of police violence began to denounce
such human rights violations publicly. The core motive for the family members is that they
fear that otherwise their relative’s death will be nothing more than a vague memory. ... read more What
they want instead is justice, the end to police violence and impunity and social and political
changes in society at large. Therefore, since the 1990s, they started to mobilize, organize
and denounce the Argentine state in general, and the police, the judiciary, the government
and individual representatives in particular. All of this activity gradually led to the
emergence of the Movimiento del Dolor, an anti-violence movement of family members of
victims of police violence protesting against the human rights abuses of the police and
demanding respect for citizenship rights in democratic Argentina. show less
